Jack Dorsey's Buzz: Clearly Explained (and how to use it)

Synopsis

Vinny demos Buzz, Block's open-source agent-native chat app where agents are first-class teammates, the harness under each agent swaps freely between Claude Code, Codex, Goose and open code, and chat context travels with the user across every swap. He demos a CRM built live with the Wasp framework and deployed to Railway, and a tweet leaderboard that pipes daily stats back into a channel through a public API; he closes on shared compute (one local model, many computers) and his honest read on Slack versus Buzz.

Ideas in this episode

• AI companion / chatbot app (character or romantic)

  Vinny's Buzz demo can be applied by standing up a self-hosted agent-native chat instance for an ops-responder, a QA-pipeline, and a trading-engine watch loop so human and agent comms share one timeline.
